A Hug on a Rainy Day by Kay Jean

“I hate being cold. If it were up to me, I’d spend the entire duration of the cloudy and rainy Pacific Northwest winter snuggled up in a blanket with a cat in my lap, a cup of coffee, and my knitting. I designed this “swoncho” (sweater/poncho) so I could have a garment I could throw on top of whatever I was wearing so I could feel cozy while still going about my business. It features a seamless, top-down construction, with a side-opening, asymmetrical collar, a cabled panel in front, and a textured stitch pattern covering the back. The design was somewhat inspired by Galilee from the Berroco Design Team, but other than the use of the wickerwork pattern and the fact that they are both swonchos, I think you’ll find that the similarities end there.”

“Striking and intense, dramatic color and contrast, and fascinating geometric shapes are what you can see if you board a ship in Puerto Montt in the very South of Chile and travel a few nautic miles to the Laguna San Rafael, where a bright teal-colored glacier lies between dark rocks, and if you are lucky you can see chunks of the ice break off and fall spectacularly into the water. My husband and I spent a year in Chile, and we took our baby son on a cruise to this place, because I insisted that the only thing I really, really needed to see in Chile was the teal-blue glacier. When this yarn arrived, I was immediately reminded of the strange beauty of that place – and created an unusually shaped shawl which is simple, but dramatically shaped and can be worn in various flattering ways. Enjoy!”

Shawl English garden by Svetlana Gordon

Do you remember the story of Peter Pan? Baby Peter flied from his house out of the window (it’s well-known that all children can fly) and began living in Kensington Gardens with fairies and elves. In the novel fairies built a little house for children lost in the Gardens at night. 
Shawl “English garden” embodies freedom of a child, that each of us adults should keep safe in themselves. It matches creative and non-formal boho-style and jeans perfectly. At the same time it’s no stranger to English elegancy, and is going to be a magnificent color accent to your favourite dress.

Feeling Loopy Socks by The Chilly Dog

“This is a unisex sock pattern written in needle neutral terms so that it can be worked on dpns or circular needles.

These colorful socks are worked from the toe up and have an afterthought heel. Both the toe and heel are star shaped.

The color pattern is mosaic, so only one color of yarn is worked at a time and much of the design is made by slipping stitches from the left to right needle.

For best results, these socks are made with 2 skeins of yarn in highly contrasting colorways. When using the recommended Schoppel Zauberball Crazy, 2 skeins is enough to make 2 pairs of M or L socks and 3 pairs of XS or S socks.”

Featured Yarn:

My April 2018 KAL begins April 5th with a beautiful design knit with Concentric by HiKoo®. Named after the concentric circles that this cake of yarn so closely resembles, these color gradients were carefully designed by the Skacel color specialists! Concentric is made from four non-plied strands, which create the distinctive color change.

In Transient, each color change will bring a different stitch pattern in this easy to wear shawl. You will find yourself racing to the next color change to find out what comes next!

Featured Yarn:

 

“Clementine is a fun,quick to knit, classic pinafore baby dress. Stripes, and a fun pocket insert not only make the garment so cute, they also add interest during knitting. Its seamless construction means you knit and you are done! We chose to knit Clementine in Hikoo’s wonderful CoBaSi fingering yarn. The yarn is a blend of cotton, bamboo and stretchy nylon. This yarn makes the dress light, perfect for summer wear, and just a little stretchy for baby’s comfort. These little dresses are like candy. You cannot stop at just one!

We have prepared Clementine kits in a rainbow of colors. The kits include the yarn and buttons, and are 20% off through May 2018!”

Lace Market by Marie Greene (Olive Knits)

“Inspired by one of my favorite evenings in Nottingham, England, the Lace Market tee is an homage to a charming historic district that was once the heart of the world’s lace industry. Wandering around – a bit lost – I happened upon a kindly gentleman named Graham who helped me find my way back to my hotel, but who pointed out architectural history every step along the way.

Knit top-down, seamless and in the round (with an easily-memorized lace repeat), Lace Market is a quick, wearable knit just in time for warm weather.

Local Girl by Christopher Salas

“I went back to some basic roots in designing with stripes for this shawl, which I named LOCAL GIRL, and I encompassed a repeating lace motif which uses double yarn overs for a beautiful and open stitch pattern. The garter section is also peppered with the slightest of short rows for some visual interest in the contrasting color. Breaking away from my personal rule of “One Skein Per Color”, I used two skeins for the lace motif, and I can’t regret my decision. This project was begging for more love in the lace section, and the result of a sizeable and stylish shawl was truly amazing.
